1990, we celebrated the building of roads. 2021, a full 31 years later, we’re still celebrating the building of roads. Who do Naija this thing?

Lamasta:
Complicated tho but I think some reforms are being made to give women some rights....

Lamasta:
They should go where they will be better treated as a professional

jimyjames:
This country doesn't need to be built but destroyed completely let us all go our separate ways we don't belong together as a country

Maxymilliano:
This suggests that Nigeria doesn't deserve to have such brains.

I therefore beseech on you brethren If you can leave this country to a better place, please leave.

I's a sincere advise

Styx01:
Is Nigeria safer than Afghanistan?

dealerman:
You think Nigerian govt gives a hutt about any Nigerian living in Afghanistan?
They never settle us we dey for naija. na pple we dey Afghanistan dey wan worry about!

owagbeba:
There are so many other states that have become successful despite having a colonial legacy. Many of them are by far better than Nigeria. South Africa comes to mind.

You see, I don’t think we should pin our failure to develop on British rule. I really don’t see the correlation between the red mud, pot-holed road that I take to work everyday and the colonial episode.

What I see if a fat prikk in government who has gotten a contract to fix this damn road but has decided to do nothing and buy a Benz with the funds; and share the remainder with his goons. Even if I write several petitions against him... it amounts to nothing, waste of time. He is my problem.. not the Brits.

owagbeba:
Brother, I beg to differ on the aforementioned. Their “formal” education has in no way hindered our development.

Take a look at Hongkong, Singapore; these are all former British colonies. They have all surpassed us in human development index.

I think our core problem is avarice. And our politicians and elites are no different:
The money spent on 2021 Bentley can build Several tomato paste factories for the indigenes of Warri.

Money spent renting private jets to “that” wedding in the north could set up a orange processing plant in the north. Visit Iyana iba and see oranges gone to waste. No refrigerated trucks.

It’s sad being a Nigerian at times.

Nikeruka:
and will not get to naija until 40years later

Read about your country's economy from reliable sources not from the bias or brown envelope Journalism practiced here:

We won't succeed in Nigeria by prayer and wishes. We can only grow when we put the right people in office and allow them develop the right system to deliver a robust economy.

I am yet to see what has worked about this economy for over 5 years now. So defending this regime will continue to be a tough job for you.

SmartPolician:
Oga, you don't even know the meaning of an illiterate An illiterate is someone who can neither read nor write. The last time I checked, the dude you replied can read and write.

To the topic, it's difficult to defend this government and there's nothing cheering about being a Nigerian at this time. A country of over 60 years with 200 million is struggling with 5k megawatts of electricity and the government would prefer to borrow to build railways. SMH

According to your definition of Buharinomics, the scarcity of USD compelled manufacturers to source raw materials inwards and you consider that a policy of this government that works? How funny!

FYI, it's the inability of this government to keep naira from depreciating that compelled those companies to look inwards, meaning that they are frustrated. A government policy works where there's a calculated, long-term strategy to make it work. Six years later, I have yet to see any sweeping reforms that have changed the lots of ordinary Nigerians.

The money Buhari is spending to fix railways should have gone to power to significantly reduce the cost of production. He's building railways, yet the prices of commodities are hitting the rooftops. Lastly, the railway is just means of ensuring that north-bound imported goods make their way from Lagos port to northern Nigeria. Fortunately, the SW is a beneficiary.

Until there's devolution of power (something we call restructuring), we are just wasting our time in Nigeria.

Immatex:
Story. Time will tell.

And for your sake, read reliable financial report and business magazines not some quarkery of newspapers.

Immatex:
You lie my friend. Only illiterates will believe your bullshit.

Stop saying Manufacturers as though you know a thing about manufacturing. What the hell do you know about procurement and sourcing? What do you know about economy of scale?

Your denial of the obvious, your wishful thinking and blind loyalty is stupidity and foolishness.

All manufacturing sectors in Nigeria are either shutting down production lines or down-scaling production leading hundreds of job losses and you have the temperity to speak of local sourcing.

You even have no shame in using power as your example.

See guy, I can't stress myself on a failed state, arguing with persons like you.

FarahAideed:
But I am.super rich ..I have nothing to prove to you ...well back to to the topic : Nigerias easiest raw material to process is crude oil , all u need is a heat source and a fractional distillation column ( I know your 65 trying to always survive IQ can never know that) but yet Buhari can't achieve that so how is he going solve others ..he can't even solve electricity that is a local issue....I feel a lot of pity for men like your that have to lick ass just to survive . I know that you even have a wife plus kids and this is how you plan to survive them ? Dude wake up ...

FarahAideed:
I will feed your generation for 200 years

FarahAideed:
Yiu are the illiterate free loader that has not done an honest day work in your life ... your useless Buhari can't even refine petrol that needs only a heat source to do and you are here talking of raw materials

FarahAideed:
And yet cost of everything is doubling by the day ? Have some shame I gather you are even almost forty years old and still doing this thing where you have to lick the ass of despicable tyrant to survive

Immatex:
Let's keep the deceit going untill the Country collapses on us all.

Anyone saying anything is working under this oppressive regime should continue, they deserve no response.

RuudVanNisteroy:
Fantastically corrupt former President Jacob Zuma thought by instigating his supporters to cause havoc he will be released from his jail cell.

South Africa will emerge stronger from this and send a message to all citizens no one is above the law including the number one citizen.

South Africans united to irrespective of race-white,black,indian and asian to clean up the mess left by the Zuma mob who wanted corruption institutionalized through thuggery and brute force and create a nation where some people are above the law.

This is a lesson to Nigeria that has produced some of the most corrupt political leaders to ever walk the planet; that corruption can be fought holistically if you have strong state institutions.
